Summery Dry Brush

I know I have not quite nailed down the whole dry brush technique, but I am definitely having a wealth of fun trying to master it. I decided to go with a very summery palette the other day and was not really sure what I was going to do.. then this happened.. then some glitter top coats got involved.. basically it was a fuster cluck (see what I did there?) though I do quite like it.

I am the worst person alive.. I put away all the polish I used already. Siiigh. I do know that China Glaze White on White was my base.. and I know China Glaze Lemon Fizz and butter London Jaffa was used. I also know the two glitter top coats: Essie Set In Stones & Hard Candy Mom & Pop.

Actually, looking at this.. I would say China Glaze Heli-Yum was also involved. I think that might be all the polish. Thank you, brain, go rest now.

I actually suffered a nail break yesterday.. I was going to keep my longer nails for a bit.. but I had not worn polish in about 5 days.. so.. my nail was like 'here is your punishment, jerk!' and I had to accept that. Back to short nubs again - yay!

I just realized I still have a couple post photos stocked up. Sigh. I haven't even uploaded all that is currently living on my camera. The fear is real.

That is for another day. Mayhaps this weekend.

Until then.

I think I said it at some point on my blog, but I feel like 2017 is going to be the year that I constantly do faux marble nails. Note: not watermarbling. I have given in to that failed activity far too many times.

No, I mean the classy kind of marble. You know.

This time, I did it in reverse, because, why not?

It counts, right?

Ugh. I love it.

All right, that is all for today. See you all again soon (I promise).

My sole mission was to make the wounds look as gnarly and gooey as possible (when I sent my sister some behind the scenes photos, she liked the original look.. but I literally told her I opted to make them 'gooier' - legit scientific term)

Anytime I can destroy my polished nails to make wounds is a great day to me!
